2018 FORD F-150 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Ford F-150 has 17 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel pump that can fracture and leak fuel or oil near ignition sources, raising the risk of a vehicle fire, along with several other issues described below. Two engine recalls affect trucks with the 3.5L V6: cylinder heads may be missing lubrication passages for the camshaft, causing the engine to seize and the vehicle to stall without warning. On 3.3L V6 models with a column-mounted shifter and 6-speed transmission, snapping the lever quickly from Park to Drive can cause the truck to briefly engage Reverse instead, moving in the opposite direction from what the driver intended. There is also a seatbelt pretensioner concern on Regular Cab and SuperCrew models where deploying the pretensioner in a crash can ignite nearby carpet or insulation inside the B-pillar. Continental tires on certain trucks may have been over-cured during production, which can cause the sidewall to crack or the tread to separate, leading to sudden air loss. The brake master cylinder on trucks with the 3.5L EcoBoost can leak fluid internally, softening the pedal and extending stopping distance. Front seat recliners on some trucks may not hold full strength in a crash, allowing the seatback to move forward. The tailgate latch can release unexpectedly while driving, letting unsecured cargo fall into traffic. On Raptor Super Cab trucks without a moonroof, roof braces may be missing rivets, reducing rollover protection. Engine block heaters
